VINEYARDS of CASA AMBRA

On VOLCANIC SOILS

ISCHIA


When it comes to the history of wine production on the island, Casa D’Ambra are one of the first names which come to mind. The vineyard itself is nestled in a natural amphitheater, overlooking the bay of Citara. Casa D’Ambra first began with Francesco D’Ambra, who started producing wine back in 1888 – it is still a family run business today. One of the larger exporters of wine in Ischia, Casa D’Ambra produce upwards of half a million bottles annually.
Increasingly popular is Casa D’Ambra’s Frassitelli Pietra Martone. Critics have scored this wine as high as 92, securing it as one of the tastiest wines of Ischia. Full, fresh and distinctive, it has notes of banana and Mediterranean brush. Like many Biancolella’s, it makes a perfect counterpart to fresh fish pasta (such as linguine with prawns) or Ischian rabbit dishes.

TOMMASANO VINEYARDS

ISCHIAN WINES


One of the best-established wine-producers in Ischia, Tommasone boast over 250 years of company history. Both their company headquarters and winery were built in the 1700’s. Viticulture runs in the family veins, having been handed from father to son for five generations.
Today, their grapes are carefully cultivated over about ten hectares of land, some of which is rented to farmers. Keen-eyed connoisseurs will not that this is more than enough land for the 100,000 bottles which Tommasone currently produce per year. In fact, they choose to limit production in favor of maintaining exclusively high quality in each bottle.
Tommasone’s wines are currently available in Ischia, Campania and southern Italy – they also export to the UK, China, Japan and the US. Which should you try? There is a sumptuous variety. The Biancolella (named after the grape with which it is made) is a particularly tasty white, boasting a superb floral and fruity fragrance. For those who prefer red, both the Per’e Palummo and Pithecusa Rosso stood out to us. Both are rich and intense with the fruity and spicy notes which Campania’s Piedirosso grape is known
